Furniture retailers often ship furniture RTA which in the industry is short for (ready to assemble). This means that the product is shipped unassembled in parts and that there is some assembly required by the person receiving the furniture before they can use it. The reason for this is not to make it difficult on the person buying the furniture but as a means of packaging it in such a way to prevent shipping damage and by packaging it smaller it can ship by a less expensive means which helps to keep the pricing lower for the furniture. Some furniture is shipped assembled in the box though and depending on the size of the piece of furniture purchased you may need assistance receiving it so double check with the retailer if you are unsure. I always liked the retailer joke that said they tried shipping people with the furniture to assemble it but they often got lost or never made it back so they dont ship people to assemble the furniture anymore. (Anyone need me shipped to Hawaii to assemble some beds?) A very good question. Fortunately most furniture arrives just fine when shipped and rare is it that problems happen. However there are times when perhaps a forklift accidentally runs through a box or an item is accidentally impacted and its best to be prepared for what to do when this happens. Since it doesnt happen often, customers are not always prepared for what to do if their furniture has suffered damage in shipping.

Identify your Color Scheme There is no doubt that the functionality of the furniture is important but at the same time aesthetics are also similarly important. The look and feel of the office must be soothing and comfortable to your eyes. Visual appeal of the furniture is as important as all of the other issues. Visual appeal of the furniture changes the entire look of the office. The furniture should be coordinated nice with the other office decor. You can furnish your office with a range of modern designs, bright to matte colors and modern to vintage styles.

Another benefit of using cardboard furniture is that these pieces are much easier to clean and maintain than most types of traditional furniture. In the case of many types of wooden furniture, owners need to perform a number of routine maintenance tasks in order to keep their furniture looking its best. While some people actually enjoy performing the tasks of keeping their favorite pieces of furniture well oiled and polished, many people find the amount of maintenance that most furniture requires to be a bit of a nuisance. With cardboard furniture on the other hand, very little maintenance is require in order to keep ones home looking sharp. So long as these pieces are dusted off from time to time, this type of furniture is virtually maintenance free.

Whether an item is shipped UPS/FedEx/DHL or truckline retailers usually ask that customers look over the product themselves since the retailer cant be there to help should there be an issue. Signs to look for are crushed ends on a box, impact through the box or areas of the box that have been taped over by the shipping company. These are sometimes signs that the furniture may have had an issue in shipping. It is actually best to open up the packaging and inspect the surfaces of the furniture to be free from scratches, dings and dents before you accept it. If you find something you cant live with, its best to note that while the driver is present on the receipt the driver has you sign or to simply refuse the product due to damage. That way a replacement can be sent to you at no charge. Many customers arent aware that this is an important extra step in receiving their furniture much in the same way the retailer receives it at the warehouse when it is first inspected. Its your furniture after all and you want to make sure its exactly the way you want it before accepting it. When ordering furniture online you can take much of the mystery of delivery away by finding out several things. First, find out how it is being shipped and with what carrier. This will help you understand the information youll be getting and how to best use it. Second, ask how it comes packaged and if possible the weight of the packages so you can decide if you need to have someone there at the time of delivery to help you. That way youll know ahead of time how to plan for getting the furniture into your home. Third, when your furniture is delivered check it over well to make sure everything arrived safely and if you find anything make a note of it on the delivery receipt you sign. Ask the retailer up front before you buy what things you should do in case of damage. Its a perfectly reasonable question to ask to be prepared in that rare instance that something does happen to your furniture during shipping. Fourth, enjoy your new furniture! It can be very rewarding to find exactly what youre looking for online when you were unable to find it locally. This is the reason online retailers exist so that they can offer products that their customers want but cant find anywhere else. If you keep these things in mind when ordering your furniture online, youre sure to become a seasoned web shopper.
